Day: May 7, 2018

Monday – We finally acquired to the hospital round midnight. I got settled and ready for bed. Colin was already there by the point I obtained there. He was camped out within the chair next to my hospital bed. Wakened Monday morning and waited for the docs to make their rounds. Dr Gonoza was on name. He basically said that my counts are starting to development down and they will do some more blood work. He said that it’s going to take a number of days. He consulted transplant infectious disease for his or her input. Mainly we’re waiting. They are also going to seek the advice of a pulmonary physician as well because of the pain I’m having after I breathe. Surgical procedure is a nightmare for me. I had my gallbladder out final yr and I cannot imagine I even have to contemplate the considered going via that again. To start out with, I must come off the low-dose naltrexone I take for my Sjögren’s symptoms as a result of it cannot be blended with narcotics. And we all know I am definitely going to wish narcotics, at least quick term. Secondly, there’s my earlier historical past of blood clots. I’m guessing that a pending surgical procedure will require dialogue with my hematologist, particularly since I can be in a cast put up-op and my blood clot threat will probably be high. And which means blood thinners, frequent blood work, and loads of worry for me.
